Braves' Ronald Acuña Jr. Begins Rehab Assignment After ACL Injury

News summary

Atlanta Braves star outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. is set to begin a rehab assignment in the Florida Complex League, marking a significant step in his recovery from a left ACL injury sustained in May 2024. Acuña, the 2023 NL MVP, will initially play in the outfield at the rookie level before potentially advancing to higher minor league levels, although no specific timetable for his MLB return has been announced. His absence has notably impacted the Braves' offense, which has struggled this season, ranking near the bottom in outfield production and scoring. Meanwhile, pitcher Spencer Strider is preparing to throw a simulated game as part of his comeback from UCL internal brace surgery and a recent hamstring strain, with the Braves managing his rehab cautiously. Both players’ returns are highly anticipated as the Braves seek to improve their standing in the National League East. The team currently holds a 19-21 record and is aiming to bolster its lineup with these key players back in action.
